The Rebel Black Dot Song o' the Day: SKApril!


Operation Ivy, "Take Warning" from Operation Ivy (The Last Angry Rude Boy)

Skammentary: The eponymous Operation Ivy is a compilation of Operation Ivy's debut release, the Hectic E.P., & only full-length album, Energy, & along with a couple tracks off the rare Turn It Around! compilation.
"Listen up:
Take warning, take warning,
Well, they gotta take warning.

"Stand by your friends, wrong or right?
Can't call that justice if it's just an excuse
To fight, single out, and attack
The ones who got no defense,
You call that a new way of thinking,
I call it regression to ignorance.

"Take warning (take warning),
Take warning (take warning),
There's a new generation coming,
And we really gotta stand up to them
Take warning (take warning).

"No one's got a thing against you,
Unless you got something to prove,
We don't need no new set of standards,
We don't need no new set of rules, man,
Heard all that shit before
About stomping out any difference,
We say, 'Stand together!'
Not to fight just to exist.

"Take warning (take warning),
Take warning (take warning),
Intimidation coming
And we really gotta say 'no' to them
Take warning (take warning).

"Enough is enough is enough,
Why don't you just ease up?
I saw another beat down last night, take warning,
Who's the next to hit the ground tonight? Take warning,
Take warning!…"
